\u201cEk het nie regtig \u2019n antwoord vir hoe dit tans met ons gaan nie. Die familie en die hele vriendekring vat dit maar nog swaar.\u201d <\/p>\n
Dit is die woorde van Essop Ismail, broer van Adeeb Ismail, wat Vrydag 13 September in \u2019n motorfietsongeluk in die Piekenierskloofpas omgekom het. <\/p>\n
Adeeb, sowel as Essop, was Vrydag op pad na \u2019n motorfietssaamtrek in Springbok.<\/p>\n
\u201cEk is so 45 minute n\u00e1 Adeeb uit die dorp. Ek het omtrent 10 km buite Worcester die oproep ontvang dat hy in \u2019n ongeluk betrokke was, maar hulle kon nog nie s\u00ea hoe ernstig sy beserings was nie.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hy het onmiddellik die familie en vriende laat weet en sy weg na die toneel gevind. <\/p>\n
Aangesien albei broers vir die familie se insleepdiens gewerk het, was hulle ietwat gewoond aan ongelukstonele.<\/p>\n
\u201cMaar omdat ons gereeld ongelukstonele bygewoon het, het ek heelpad \u2019n klomp scenario\u2019s uitgedink. Die persoon wat gebel het, het vir my ges\u00ea dit lyk nie goed nie en dat ek so gou moontlik daar moet kom. Die persoon het ook ges\u00ea ek moet ons vriend Kobus, \u2019n paramedikus van Worcester, ook laat weet \u2013 dit het my net meer senuagtig gemaak.\u201d <\/p>\n
Sowat 30 km voor die toneel het hulle die tyding gekry dat Adeeb aan sy beserings beswyk het. Mense van wyd en syd het in ongeloof oor die bekende, vriendelike en behulpsame brandweer\u00adman se dood reageer \u2013 eienskappe waarvoor hy deur baie onthou sal word.<\/p>\n
\u201cHy was baie vriendelik en altyd behulpsaam. Hy was wel erg stout op skool, maar nie disrespekvol nie, en hy was altyd reg vir \u2019n grappie. Hy was regtig \u2019n staatmaker en enigeen kon altyd op sy nommer druk,\u201d verduidelik Essop emosioneel.<\/p>\n
Hy herroep \u2019n brand wat vroe\u00ebr vanjaar in Durbanstraat uitgebreek het.<\/p>\n
\u201cDit was tydens ons vastyd. Dit was in die oggendure terwyl Adeeb reggemaak het om moskee toe te gaan toe een van ons vriende hom gebel het. Hy het toe vinnig moskee toe gegaan en daarna na die toneel toe gegaan en my gebel en gevra ek moet sy brandpak vir hom bring. Hy was van diens af, maar dit was net weer eens \u2019n bewys dat hy altyd gewillig was om mense te help.\u201d <\/p>\n
Hy was sedert 2012 \u2019n lid van die Breedevallei-brandweer. <\/p>\n
\u201cSelfs voordat hy \u2019n brandweerman geword het, het hy sy BAA-kursus (basic ambulance attendant<\/span>) voltooi. Omdat ons soms voor reddingswerkers op \u2019n toneel kom, probeer ons altyd om die beseerde mense te help. Ons het altyd \u2019n goeie verhouding met die brandweermanne gehad en hulle het hom aangemoedig om aansoek te doen toe poste beskikbaar word. Hy het sy onderhoude met flying colours<\/i> geslaag.\u201d<\/p>\n Buiten dat hy aan sy gemeenskap toegewyd was, was Adeeb ook \u2019n toegewyde pa en familie-mens. \u201cSoms moes ek uit die dorp reis. Ek hoef nie eens vir Adeeb te gevra het om my kinders te gaan haal nie; hy het sommer outomaties geweet wat alles in my afwesigheid gedoen moes word. As my pa ook laat uithuisig was, het hy seker gemaak my ma is oukei. Hy was mal oor sy dogtertjie en my kinders \u2013 hulle was gaande oor hom ook. Hy was baie lief daarvoor om hulle \u2013 wanneer hy af was \u2013 uit te neem na plase en parke en om na diere te gaan kyk.\u201d <\/p>\n Die janaaza (begrafnis) het talle mense gelok. In video\u2019s van die prosessie van die moskee na die begraafplaas kan gesien word hoe die gemeenskap die sypaadjies op die roete vol staan.<\/p>\n Selfs by die begraafplaas moes baie begrafnis\u00adgangers buite staan omdat daar soveel mense was om Adeeb finaal te groet.<\/p>\n Die brandweer het ook hul laaste eer aan hom betoon deur sy lyk op een van hul brandweerwaens van die moskee na die begraafplaas te neem. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u201cEk het nie regtig \u2019n antwoord vir hoe dit tans met ons gaan nie.
